specifically for Chiangrai:
the Association for Akha Education & Culture in Thailand (AFECT) based in Chiangrai: http://www.akhaasia.org/Index.html
can vouch for the good work that these people are doing. not sure how their rates compare to other agencies, but funds go to AFECT's projects.

I booked my tour through Julie Guesthouse and it was awesome! However, it really came down to our guide. I have no idea if you can actually request a guide, but if you can ask for "Puzza" it's a nickname and unfortunately I can't remember his real name. I just sent some mates an email seeing if they had his contact info and I'll let you know if I find it. The guy was absolutely amazing! Funny as could be and trekking with him was probably one of my top experiences in Thailand. (yea yea after FMP, call me a horrid trail seeking tourist, I could care less it was a blast, made Daytona beach look quite calm)
